| Q. |
What fuel do the generators use |
|
| A. | Normally Red Diesel. | |
|
|
||
| Q | How will I know how much fuel has been used and how is this calculated | |
| A. | The generators are supplied full of fuel and when returned to the depot they are re-fuelled to full and the usage is then calculated and the customer only pays for the fuel actually used. We find this to be the only fair way to bill for fuel used since you may not use a whole tank full. | |

Yes, the generators have been
designed especially for the event industry and pass all EU and UK
noise regulations. |
